    What a friendly and encouraging thread. Sounds great! I'll do what I can to adjust my schedule to come out Saturday. My new toy is posted under general discussion "midlife crisis." See you all there if I can.

    I would recommend it however i raced my first few with just elbow and knee shin guards. Basically its what you are comfortable wearing or not wearing. I would also add on goggles.

    Depends on how long you can go without earning money.

    If your luck is like mine then the one area you do not wear any armor is the one you will smack on a rock/ground. Only thing I tend not to wear are elbow/forearm and that is the one spot I nailed during practice on Saturday.
